Median rents for Sydney's houses and apartments remained stable, but increased rental supply has become the strong point of the market compared to the previous quarter.
Median rents for homes and apartments in the city remained stable at $ 540 a week and $ 530 a week, respectively, according to the report on leasing domains.
Sydney was the second most expensive capital in terms of home rentals after Canberra's victory in the last quarter. The capital of New South Wales is the only city to record an annual decline in the value of homes and units, with rent down $ 10 a week (1.8%) for homes and $ 20 per week (3.6%) for units.
The abundance of shares in the market is, however, demarcated in the report. The number of units on the market in Sydney has increased by more than 20%, while the number of homes has increased by almost 13% over twelve months.
"The current rental conditions give tenants a window of opportunity to negotiate rents and conditions," said Nicola Powell, Senior Research Analyst at Domain.
As a result, homeowners are forced to reduce rents to attract tenants to a more competitive market.
In addition, it has become difficult to find a tenant in less than a week, according to Rachel Beadman, head of property management at Phillips Pantzer Donnelley.
"It's competitive and the days on the market are getting longer. A year ago, you would not have seen an offer under the asking price of the market. Traditionally, [prices] was pushed upward … whereas now it is different. If a property is on the market for $ 1,000 a week, [tenants] will probably attempt for around $ 900. The rents of high-end family homes have dropped more significantly, with hundreds of dollars, "said Beadman.
The time required to find a tenant on the Lower North Shore, for example, increased by about 20%, and homeowners who did not adapt to the market had to wait longer.
"As much as we want to publish the rent at the current level [when re-letting] it will stay on the market for weeks if we do," said Lauren Beare of the Agency.
The southwestern and southern regions appear to experience quarterly declines in the prices of the largest apartments, at 2.7% and 2% respectively. The Southwest also recorded the largest annual decline of 5.3%. Next come the north-west and the northern part of the north coast, while the northern beaches resist with a rise in rents up 1.6% over the year.
